Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenStar Musk brings floral; Alexandria II Extrait Oil brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list amber, sandalwood, cinnamon and musk and 1 more, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadPowdery, warm spicy, woody and vanilla run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Star Musk is long lasting and moderate, Alexandria II Extrait Oil eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
